Yes, I did. Scary to lay on the ground after hitting your head and not being able to move. Took a few seconds before I knew I was still functioning. It was still snowing/sleeting at the time and I did not realize how slippery the ice under it was. I seem to be recovering OK though.
Glad you're OK and keep looking for any ill effects, I have some lasting problems from a bad fall. You never know, I don't bounce as well as I did 40 ears ago. :-)

The OP said the truck was "backed" into the driveway.

Oh, yeah. :-( They must be there to tell him to look in front of the truck then, instead of pulling out with his eyes closed. (I can be almost wrong, but never totaally wrong.)
It was the LAW where I worked. Every company vehicle had a set of cones. Cones had to be put out whenever the vehicle was parked. The only exception was when the vehicle was brought back and parked in it's spot at the end of the day. Failure to comply could result it suspension without pay and did on a few occasions as I recall.
It was strictly a safety measure. The driver was forced to look in front and behind the vehicle before moving. I've seen empty parking spots with cones at either end. Someone was in a hurry and took off without them. It was a pain in the ass but when you think about it if it prevented one kid from being run over then it was worth it.
